September

Back online. Largely because I promised Cindy and Laura I'd get back on and give them something to read. Since last posting, summer has come and almost gone (hot here today). Lots got finished: Girlfromauntie poncho sweater in heavy red boucle/chenille-y yarn (just needs a fancy button, but I can wear it); orange pullover; hat for Afghanistan; first piece of finshed lace -- scarf with yarn from Lowell; Emily's school quilt (hand quilted); 3 little bags out of bamboo; many washcloths for gifts (out of Mason Dixon knitting). Also largely through a second piece of lace - feather and fan shawl out of string like cotton I bought many years ago (first hand dyed I ever bought), I love the colors, but the yarn is pretty frail. Seems like there's more but I can't think of it now. Frogged an Einstein coat that never worked out, and another hand-dyed piece from Maine.

Meanwhile, it's back to school for massage and for teaching. Did some knitting with the kids for Sept. 11 and may start a weekly Afghans for Afghans knitting group at school.

OTN: the above lace; Lavish lace scarf; little sweater probably for charity ("Rosemary's little sweater" from Green Mountain Spinnery book) -- nice pattern; Lavold green that's been on for a while; and red jacket from Stitches two years ago. Planned: brown lace pullover; clapotis with artyarn gifted to me; Arctic Lace knitalong with leftover quiviuk.
